So why the name?

The Bible recounts the story of a woman, barren and beyond the years it seemed possible to conceive a child. God chose that family, Elizabeth and Zechariah, to be the parents for John the Baptist. He was an unexpected child, who not only brought joy to his parents but served a God-appointed purpose, even being filled with the Holy Spirit in utero. John’s parents found favor in the sight of the Lord and were obedient to His directions, even when questioned by their friends and family.

Unexpected pregnancy is not a curse or a burden but instead can bring great joy and be used to the Glory of God!

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth’”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬
